On the one hand, nationalist cunts and their sycophantic press arm are going to be absolutely insufferable if we win. Calling it now that Rafael Behr already has an article in the chute called "Corbyn could never have led our boys to victory if he was in charge, god just imagining it makes me so ang- oh god Sarah it's happening agiuuurgh"

On the other hand, it might be coming home lads

imo it is every English progressive's responsibility to be twice as loud & insufferable as the nationalists & claim an England victory as a victory for LGBTQIA+ rights & BLM, the right wing handed this to us on a plate by turning their culture war bullshit on footballers & it would just be irresponsible to let that go to waste imo

It's coming home (where it will be appropriated as a gay pride symbol, as is tradition)

I want England to lose because I enjoy heartbroken football fans but if England win I want them to immediately and continuously take the knee again for as long as possible so that every second and every photograph of the historic win is inseparable from the message. Straight up lifting the cup on their knees.

Half of the miserable cunts booing were counting on England losing in the group stage so that they could turn it into a thing about how rainbows and bending the knee made the team weak and effeminate and we need a team of big strong Saxon alphas who cry God for Harry (not that one), England, and Saint George and hate immigrants and scroungers. Every win has made those people a little quieter and less relevant, and now they're starting to be accused of 'disloyalty to England', which really gets under their skin because you can call them racist and homophobic all you want and they won't care, they don't see those as bad things, but if they're not loyal to England then what even are they, they've got gently caress all else.

Hope Woke Queer Marxist England win and Drunk Abusive Flag Nonce England loses.

Which just goes to show.

Having seen him dismissed as a 'champagne socialist' in numerous corners of gammonweb.

If you're wealthy and socialist you're a 'champagne socialist and how come you're not offering your spare room to a family of asylum seekers' (which always struck me a completely dumb comment but I digress) and if you're not wealthy, you're a 'politics of envy' socialist.

So you can't 'win'.

As a leftist, I think the only position here is to support Italy, which as a country is a progressive beam of light on this planet with absolutely no elements of nationalism that would delight in a victory for their team.

Furthermore, I'm going to tell everyone I know repeatedly today that I am supporting Italy so they know just how above this whole farce I am.

As a Scot I think the only position here is to support Italy because Scottish television isn't delivered by the people who also deliver Italian TV but apparently forget that, & I absolutely have never told anyone I am above this farce. I'm so far from being above it. And also because if Italy win I don't have to hear that godforsaken song for...sigh, less than 18 months :suicide:

And for the avoidance of doubt, yes, it is absolutely a matter of spite.

Do politics of envy apply anywhere else or is it just for wealth/land reform?

Like when people are against child sexual exploitation do they think those people just wish they could nonce kids without getting caught?

I suppose that's exactly what the Church in Poland thought when they decided to go around calling gay men pedophiles in response to them being uncovered.

what keeps happening to my clothes
my prediction: we reach 90 minutes in and nobody scores. Then they try for extra time, and nobody scores. Thirty consecutive free kicks later and nobody scores. The entirety of one team stands on the other edge of the pitch as the other all push the football into the goal. It doesn't go in. None of them can do anything to get the football to go in. They try to concede the match, but their mouths can't form the words. They can't do anything. The fans try to leave, and find all the doors are locked. When they jump out the windows they come back in on the other side. The government is urged into action but Boris Johnson declares that since the place this football is immovably stuck in by forces unknown is in London then it technically means football has, in fact, come home, and so everything is fine actually. The tories gain five points in the polls.
